"Don't talk nonsense, no one would curse himself to fall into the water." Yinzhen held her hands and said with lingering fear: "Do you know how worried I was when I heard the news that you fell into the water. Fortunately, it was nothing serious." He had already lost Meier, and he was absolutely worried.
I can't lose this woman who is similar to Meier and has a gentle temperament.
"For making Fourth Master worry, I really deserve death." Tong Jia lowered her head, the sadness flashing across her brows was noticed by Yinzhen, and asked: "Tell me, why did you fall into the water?"
Tong Jiashi avoided his gaze and whispered: "It's nothing, I was just careless."
"You fell into water once when you were a child, so you have always been afraid of water. Even when you go to Jianjia Pond, you always stay far away. How could you be careless? Tell me, what on earth is going on." He asked, tightening his grip.
When Tong Jiashi opened her hands, she found that her left hand had been tightly held, "What's inside?"
"No, it's nothing." She wanted to hide her hands behind her back, but Yinzhen grabbed her and forced them open. When he saw the luminous pearl earring that Tong Jia held in his palm, his eyes shrank sharply and he stared at it intently.
After touching that ear, it took a long time before a voice as cold as ice and snow burst out from between the lips and teeth, "Why is Ling Ruo's ear here with you?"
Ms. Tong Jia tried her best to break away from his hand and said with a painful expression: "Fourth Master, please don't ask any more questions. I don't know anything."
Yinzhen glanced at her, turned to Hanxiang who was hesitant to speak, and said, "If your master doesn't say anything, you say it for her!" Without waiting for Hanxiang to reply, he added, "If I hear a lie, I'll send it away immediately.
Go to hard labor!”
Hanxiang hurriedly knelt down after hearing this and recounted the story in detail. By the time she finished speaking, Yinzhen's face was already ashen, and the veins on his forehead were pulsing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you serious?"
"How dare you lie to the prince? Miss Yilan is still in Lanxin Residence at the moment. If the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask her to come over and ask." Hanxiang said carefully.
"No need!" After saying these words that contained anger, Yinzhen stood up abruptly and left regardless of Tong Jia's dissuasion. The dog with a worried look hurriedly followed behind.
Since coming back from Jianjiachi, Ling Ruo has been sitting quietly in the main hall alone, saying nothing, which made everyone feel strange. Moreover, he did not pick up Yilan when he came back. When he asked Li Wei, Li Wei also kept silent and only said that this time
A great disaster will befall Jingsiju.
Soon after, the news spread that Tong Jia had fallen into the water, alarming the entire Prince Yong's Mansion, and everyone was secretly speculating on the reason why she suddenly fell into the water in this winter.
When Mo Yu breathlessly told Ling Ruo the news, she stood up silently and walked to the courtyard. As soon as she stood outside the eaves, she felt a chill on her face, followed by more chills.
Is it raining? She looked up at the dark night sky, and the snowflakes blended into the black night were falling continuously.
It turned out to be snow...it snowed so early this year...
"Master, why did you come out without putting on some clothes? What if you catch a cold?" Mo Yu quickly walked up behind Ling Ruo who reached out to catch the snowflakes, and put a rose-red brocade cloak on her body.
"It doesn't matter..." Ling Ruo looked at the snowflakes that had not yet melted in her palms and smiled. She didn't know why she could still smile even though she knew that a disaster was coming.
After tonight, where will you go?
"Mo Yu, I remember there is still one year left before your selling contract is about to expire, right?" Ling Ruo suddenly asked.
While Mo Yu tied the belt of her cloak for her, she said casually: "Yes, Master, don't you remember? I came more than a month earlier than you. It seems that I will leave the house in September next year."
"Next year in September..." Ling Ruo murmured and repeated, and then suddenly said: "I will ask Li Wei to get your deed of betrayal later. You can leave the house tomorrow while you are still young.
, find a good family to marry as soon as possible, don’t think about the Thirteenth Master anymore, and live your life in peace. I will ask Li Wei to prepare enough money for you, and it will be your reward for serving me with all your heart and soul for the past two years.
.”
Mo Yu was startled and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Master, did this slave do something that displeases you, so you want to drive this slave away?"
"No." Ling Ruo helped Mo Yu, who was frightened and uneasy, with a sad expression, "I'm just afraid that after tonight, I will no longer be able to take care of you."
No matter how stupid Mo Yu was, he felt something was wrong and asked: "Master, what happened?"
Ling Ruo didn't answer, but stared at the door of Jingsiju. There was a figure standing there. His face was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see what he looked like. But for Ling Ruo, it was enough.
.
It seems that she can't even make it through tonight. What is supposed to come has already come...
"Who is it?" Xiao Luzi, who was guarding under the dripping eaves, also spotted the figure. He quickly went over to investigate with a lantern. When he saw the appearance of the person clearly, Xiao Luzi quickly called Qian'er, "Slave... give it to the prince.
Please...please greet me!"
Yinzhen didn't even look at him, and walked straight towards Ling Ruo. Every step he took was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his eyes were even more chilling than a winter night.
Their eyes faced each other, and there was silence. Only the subtle sound of snow falling to the ground around them reached their ears. After a long time, Yinzhen's cool voice broke the suffocating silence, "Ruo'er, since when did you
Are you starting to become so cruel?"
Although I knew it would be such a result, when I heard these words from his mouth, my heart still twitched hard. I quietly clasped my hands curled up in my sleeves and said silently: "I have never changed.
It must be Fourth Master."
"Really?" Yinzhen laughed angrily, but after laughing, the last trace of warmth in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and the sound of rebuke came overwhelmingly, "If you haven't changed, why did you take advantage of Jianjia Pond without a trace?
People always push Li Luo into the water; if things have not changed, why do you want Li Luo's life? Ruo'er, do you really hate my love for Li Luo so much that you hate me?" At the end of his words, there was a trace of color in his voice.
Heartache.
Ling Ruo looked at him and said quietly what she had never said to Yinzhen before, "No woman wants to see her husband love another woman. I am just an ordinary woman, how can I be above the world; but
This does not mean that I am a concubine
I know how to harm people. I can swear to God that I will never hurt Tong Jiali Luo a hair!" Without waiting for Yinzhen's answer, she suddenly chuckled, with deep sadness and despair hidden in her beauty, "But
Fourth Master won’t believe it, right?”
All my life, I will never doubt...
This sentence will eventually become a joke. Or maybe she shouldn't believe it from the beginning. There is no doubt about the Tian family.
"At that time, you, Li Luo, and Li Wei were the only three people at the Jianjia Pond. Li Wei was a slave, so he naturally obeyed your orders. So tell me, Ruo'er, tell me, who else is there besides you? Could it be?
Did Li Luo jump into the water on her own?" At the end of the sentence, there was uncontrollable anger, like a stormy sea, threatening to submerge Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo took a deep breath to ease the pain in her heart, "In fact, Tong Jialiluo fell into the water to wrong me, but as soon as the fourth master came, he started to investigate the crime, and never asked me or gave me a
